What is the Print on Demand Profit Calculator?
With print-on-demand (POD) you pay a base product cost and shipping per order to the printer, plus marketplace fees. POD margins are thinner than wholesale: a $29.99 T-shirt with a $12.95 base cost and $4.75 shipping often nets only $5–$9 after Etsy fees and ads.
How to use the Print on Demand Profit Calculator
